You’ve said the hard thing. You’ve shared your concerns. You’ve owned your feelings. But the conversation still feels unfinished. Why? Because most of us were never taught the communication skills needed to have “the talk” in a way that truly builds connection instead of distance.

In this third episode of the series, we walk through Step 7 — the next piece that shifts your “we need to talk” moment from correction to collaboration. Instead of demanding change, you’ll learn how to express what you want in a way that invites your teen into partnership. And that’s where grace enters.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why traditional confrontation often creates compliance without connection
• How to move from problem-focused to possibility-focused communication
• What it sounds like to express “I want” without control or pressure
• How casting vision builds trust and emotional safety
• A powerful biblical example of appealing instead of commanding

This is where anchored communication becomes transformational.
